Full Body Respray

[jeff jackson]

I have searchd the forum of course, some of the answers here are now quite old.
I would really like my Plus 2 resprayed. It has microblisters on the back end, only visible when its damp.
The roof and boot lid are dull, the paint has died. No matter how much polishing I do.
Has anyone had their car done recently?
how much was it? Where was it done? Are you pleased with the result?
Kind regards

Jeff,

Its only a small car, so you wouldn't have thought it could cost too much, but labour costs are astronomical these days and glassfibre is very labour intensive to prep.

Two well known names are Spyder and Option 1. Spyder's web page:

https://www.spydercars.co.uk/spydercars-full-in-house-painting-facility/

£6K to strip the car, £6.5K to respray, so £12.5K (presumably +VAT) for the whole job.

Option 1 are widely regarded as being one of the best for glassfibre, but they have a long waiting list, and I recall prices were £20K+ when I last checked - which is a few years ago.

Perhaps you could report back with what you find.

Andy.

There is also Paul Mason who was based at Spyder but has now moved location.
His work also comes highly recommended by members of this forum.
